Every time we think about food to enjoy at an event hall, we picture a long buffet line, right? And although that is a great option for a large party, there are other ways to introduce food into your event. Let’s take a look at a few:

Brunch: the Best of Both Worlds

If you are planning an event like a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday celebration, or even a wedding, you could consider this trend that has swept the world in the last few years. A brunch combines the best parts of the recipes, usually divided between breakfast and lunch, and we are able to create a party that generally starts at 10:00am and go on until the afternoon in a casual and relaxed environment.

More than a Coffee

If you are organizing something a bit more formal, like a business meeting, how about taking the classic coffee and biscuits to another level? Planning more nutritious and elaborate snacks for meetings and congresses is key to make the attendees happy and full of energy.

What Kind of Diner?

For large events such as weddings, graduations, anniversaries or quinceañera parties, diner is one of the most expected elements by the guests when arriving at the party hall. But, how will you serve it? If we are talking about a reasonable number of guests, serving at the table is generally more elegant and efficient cost wise. And if we are talking about large number of guests, the buffet is always an excellent choice.

The Food Truck Craze

Surely you have seen them at any mass event that you have attended: Food trucks with all types of food available for you to choose your favorite. This is a great option for concerts, fairs, and expositions.

Take into Consideration all the Possible Diet Restrictions

Nowadays, the food options that we offer at our event halls must always include, or at least when possible, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

At the Centro de Convenciones de Costa Rica, we have a gastronomical team ready to take your ideas to the next level in the party hall. . Have you seen our gastronomic offer? You can check it out here: https://es.calameo.com/read/005946579afea10557b23?page=1

How to organize a successful meeting

Post date September 27, 2019

It may sound easy, but to organize a successful meeting there are several specific elements to take into consideration to make sure that we have a rewarding Business Meeting.

Here is a guide with the essential steps:

1. Send the invitation with plenty of time and RSVP

It is very important to take your time to check the meeting guest list and ask ourselves if their presence is absolutely necessary. When the list is ready, sending the digital invitation one week before the event is ideal, as well as reconfirming the attendance one day before.

2. Have the agenda with the topics to cover ready

Many meetings lose productivity because of a lack of a detailed agenda with a clear description of the topics to cover or discuss. Checking beforehand the objectives of the meeting allows us to proceed in an orderly and clear way to be as efficient as possible with the time.

3. Assign someone to keep a track of time and write the meeting minutes

In larger scale meetings, there is always one person in charge of keeping time to make sure that all the objectives in the agenda are met. It is also crucial to choose the right person to write precise yet concise meeting minutes.

4. Choose healthy snacks

Generally, meeting snacks consist of coffee, beverages, and something light to eat: the most important aspect here to take into consideration is for them to be healthy. Avoiding excess sugar and fat is key to keep the guests active during the meeting.

If you need a room fully equipped to have an important Business Meeting, at the conventions center we have a variety of rooms to hold different capacities. We have cutting-edge technology and all the camenities – including excellent gastronomy – for you to enjoy a successful and productive meeting.

All while being inclusive and within the frame established by the PNGCSS.

«At the Food and Beverages department, this program allows everyone involved in the food service delivery to be active participants on the day-to-day operation.

With the implementation of this plan, our purpose is to contribute to the link between society, the government, and private enterprises; to a better natural resource conservation; to a sustainable food production; to revitalize the gastronomic and cultural heritage of the country by using native plants of different geographic areas and excellent quality; to reduce waste and create a positive impact for climate change; to decarbonization, framed within the national plan, which aims to reduce completely the carbon emissions.

Follow these 5 tips to organize a successful congress

Post author By adminTriario
Post date September 11, 2019

Are you considering planning a congress? It is an extremely particular event, and its organization may pose a significative challenge for all involved. The most important thing is to plan it with time and tackle the logistic process step by step.

We have 5 tips to help you have a successful congress:

1.Consider an appropriate sponsorship

In order to afford a quality congress, you need sponsors who are related to the area you are dealing with: it is always important to do this months ahead of the event.

2. Create or encourage a community:

The first step is to know what kind of people we want to gather at the event hall; if it is a professional established community or if we want to create it from uniting several knowledge or interest segments. This will help us define the objectives according to the theme chosen for the congress.

3. Carefully choose the lecturers

The idea is that the lecturers that will attract an audience to the congress are renowned on their work areas, but they must also be chosen according to their charisma and ability to keep the audience’s interest.

4. Attention to detail

In every step of the process, you must make a continuous revision of the details to avoid being overwhelmed by all on the day of the event. You must remember that, if left unattended, small details can build up until they are noticed by the guests.

5. Use technology to our favor

Nowadays, technology is our ally in any event we need: from projectors, surround sound, LED screens, to digital media that work to broadcast the congress.

Do you have any congress or conference in mind? Remember that at the Costa Rica Convention Center we have halls and amenities that can adapt to every one of the needs of your event. Contact us for advice and information here.
